"Toy Story" was about sibling rivalry. "Toy Story 2" was about loving others, even if it means you might get hurt someday.

So what is "Toy Story 3" about? It takes the whole "kids + loyal toys" theme to its natural conclusion, by showing us what happens when the kids grow up and leave. While the first two-thirds of the movie are fairly pedestrian (for a Pixar movie!), the last part is both action-packed and emotionally wrenching.

Ten years have passed, and Andy is now a college-bound teenager. His toys are anxious about what's going to happen, so Woody keeps assuring them that they'll be put safely in the attic. But a misunderstanding leads to a date with the garbage truck. Since the toys believe they have been abandoned, they jump into the box of donated toys bound for Sunnyside Daycare.

They're greeted by the genial Lots-o'-Hugging Bear (aka Lotso) and the friendly daycare toys, and all seems to be well. But Andy's toys soon discover that Sunnyside is a nighmare -- they've been assigned the "Caterpillar Room" for wild abusive toddlers, and Lotso is the Godfatheresque overlord of the daycare. Once Woody learns the true horrors of Sunnyside, he must infiltrate the daycare and somehow get his friends out.

You know that the movie industry is officially in a slump when the cleverest, funniest and most touching movie of the summer... is a CGI sequel about toys. "Toy Story 3" starts off rather lightweight at first, with the toys being brought into Sunnyside and Woody setting off in another direction.

But once Lotso is revealed as the villain, the movie takes a sharp turn -- it becomes a clever, complex "Great Escape"-style caper, with some moments of G-rated horror (THE MONKEY!Read more ›

Toy Story 3 was the highest grossing movie of 2010, and is currently #5 on the All Time World-wide top grossing movie chart, right behind Avatar, Titanic, The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of the King and Pirates of The Caribbean, at $1.06 billion dollars. Amazing feat!

Video: This 1080p AVC 1.78:1 transfer is absolutely pristine. The colours are vibrant that simply jump out at you. Resolution is incredibly sharp and detailed. A totally enjoyable and satisfying visual experience. (5/5)

Audio: The DTS-HD 7.1 MA was equally wonderful that simply immersed you into the movies (5/5)

The ending was heart-warming and will tuck at your heart-string. To hear the Gypsy King doing the Spanish version of You've Got A Friend In Me while Buzz (temporary turned Spanish), and Jessie, doing the tango was a real treat. This is a movie for both young and old. Now that the Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 are all out on blu ray, it will be a great idea to have a Toy Story Day during future holidays, viewing all three in a row. And that reminded me of the Lord Of the Ring days, watching all extended editions in a row. Luckily, Toy Story is much shorter, while we are still waiting for the HD editions of the Extended Cut of The Lord Of the Rings trilogy. Toy Story 3 (blu ray) is highly recommended, and a must-own, like Toy Story 1 and 2 (blu ray).

After many, many years we finally were graced with Toy Story 3. This possibly final movie ranks as my least favourite, but it is still an excellent addition to your viewing experience. Toy Story 3 is the only one we managed to see twice in the theatre, which made us very happy.

Time has passed in Toy Story 3. Andy, the little boy from the first two, is now all grown up and getting ready to go away to school. Quite by accident, the toys are deposited in a local daycare centre. Not entirely happy, Woody manages to escape and form a friendship with some other toys. At the daycare, Buzz faces his own difficulties. Shenanigans and chaos ensue yet again. And this time, you will hate toy monkeys!

The musical interlude in Toy Story 3 is actually the same tune from the first one. This time, done Spanish flamenco style! At least I think it was a flamenco. Due to a glitch in one of the toys, we are treated to a hilarious section at the end, all for our amusement. Pure genius on the part of Pixar! And a great character moment for two of our favourite toys.

Before the end of this movie, load up on the tissues. The emotional impact from the resolution, which causes a massive game change if a fourth is made, feels like the end of an era. This outcome feels natural, one we know is coming, but painful nonetheless. But the possibilities for a fourth are boundless and plentiful, which fills our hearts with joy.

Toy Story 3 can serve as an ending or a new beginning, or both. It is up to us, and our friendships with Woody and Buzz, to decide. Pixar has constantly given us these wonderful, imaginative characters for us to love and cherish. I hope with all my heart we see more of the toys. That would be lovely.

Movie:This is one awesome film franchise that just gets better and better with each sequel. Normally, sequels are only made to catch the success of the first film and sucks as it gets longer and longer (think God Father, Rambo, Batman in the 90s, and so on). However, this 3rd installment of Toy Story is awesome. My wife and I LOVED IT!! I had brought the first two films prior to it came out so my wife had the opportunity to watch 1 & 2 just before this came out. We saw this one and we both loved it. The storyline is more mature than the first 2 as the writers thought about the audience that followed this film since the 1st. The animation is great as they have gotten better and better with time and the opening in this film is one heck of an opening. We love it!!

Product:Always love the Blu-Ray & DVD combo as we have a theater at the condo that only plays DVD. Therefore, this gives us the nice option to watch it when friends come by. There are a lot of bonus stuff on the Blu-Ray feature and watching them gives you a higher appreciation for this film. GET IT!!!
